Nvidia Image Scaling & Odyssey

[Factabulous]

Anyone got it working so that it sharpens and scales?

I followed this guide:

How to use Nvidia Image Scaling

In this guide on how to use Nvidia Image Scaling, we'll walk you through setting up and configuring Nvidia's handy upscaling tool.

www.rockpapershotgun.com

But at step 5 the indicator stays blue (i.e. NIS is sharpening the image but not scaling it). I'm not clear what options (if any) I can set to make the game not do the scaling itself - the graphic options don't seem to include 'let someone else do the upscaling' so I chose the internal (default) upscaler.

All you should need to do is enable the feature and select the appropriate in-game resolution...NIS scales that to panel native res.

yeah, that's what I thought, but the overlay seems to think otherwise ...

i dont see an overlay option when was that written

 

[Factabulous]

There was an overlay option when I looked for it - not sure if it was the same place as they show - around there.

Overlay is green on mine.

Are you sure you're selecting a resolution specifically enabled by NIS?

Nope Ok, good to know it can work, I'll play around with my resolutions a bit more and see if I can find one that works

If the resolution is on the list without NIS being enabled, the scaling won't work for that resolution.

Ok, so I got NIS to go green by dropping my windows resolution from native (2560 x 1440) to a lower res (1920 x 1080). But ofc that means Windows desktop is now at the lower res ...

This kinda makes sense in terms of configuration, but not ideal as I really wanted my desktop => native and EDO => lower res, full screen, and scaled up. I'm guessing that is not possible

 

[bangermsuk]

are you using global settings or program settings tab you should be in the later

I'm not reducing the resolution of my desktop, only the game.

Are you running the game full screen?

There's no 'program settings' for screen resolution is there?

Are you running the full screen?

full screen borderless

 

[bangermsuk]

in nvidia control panel there is.

 

[Morbad]

full screen borderless

Chances are that's the problem.

What happens when you use actual full screen?

Ah yes, that does it

Hmm, no more EDMC overlay then if I want to go this route, but at least I know how to get it working now! \o/

Well, you can change the desktop resolution and then use borderless, as you've already noted.

Fullscreen borderless is a misnomer as it's actually rendered like a window, just with the desktop resolution and no border.

ok i solved my too. i dont have the maxwell chipset.
